During the Architecture Festival "Make City" the AIT-ArchitekturSalon is represented with different formats on new and innovative housing concepts . Pop -Up is presented in the AIT-ArchitekturSalon exhibition "Affordable Living / Affordable Housing ", in-depth discussions are with the Symposium "living differently " and the Studio - Talk "Living inclusive".

Housing is a basic need that is still not covered or inadequately for many people in all regions of the world. Architecture and urban planning can make a decisive contribution to finding new solutions to ensure the supply of housing for all. The challenge for affordable housing is, above all, to put the costs and the resulting housing quality in an optimum ratio. The way forward depends on many parameters and local cultural influences. Against this background, not only theoretical approaches are presented in the book, but the example of outstanding residential building also demonstrated strategies to create affordable housing. It is through the analysis of the projects in the economic, social and urban context, these strategies are comparable. Central to this is the question, how can different approaches to the creation of affordable residential transferred to regional specifics.

Flowscapes explores infrastructure as a type of landscape and landscape as a type of infrastructure. The hybridization of the two concepts seeks to redefine infrastructure beyond its strictly utilitarian definition, while allowing spatial design to gain operative force in territorial transformation processes. The publication provides perspectives on the subject from design-related disciplines such as architecture, urban design, urban planning, landscape architecture and civil engineering. The book builds upon the multidisciplinary colloquium on landscape infrastructures, that is part of the Flowscapes graduation design studio of Landscape Architecture at the TU Delft.

The authors explore concepts, methods and techniques for design-related research on landscape infrastructures. Their main objective is to engage environmental and societal issues by means of integrative and design oriented approaches. Through focusing on interdisciplinary design-related research of landscape infrastructures they provide important clues for the development of spatial armatures that can guide urban and rural development and have cultural and civic significance. The geographical context of the papers covers Europe, Africa, Asia and Northern America. All contributions in the book are double blind reviewed by experts in the field.

Housing is a basic need that is still not or not enough accessible for many of the people in all regions of the world. Architecture and urban planning can make a significant contribution in finding new solutions that can ensure proposed “Housing for all” offer. Above all, the challenge for affordable housing is to put living costs and the resultant living quality in an optimum ratio value. This challenge is dependent on many local parameters and cultural influences.

In this context, not only theoretical approaches are going to be presented in the book, but also on example of outstanding residential buildings, some strategies to create affordable housing. By means of project’s analysis in the economic, social and urban context, these strategies can be comparable.However still the main subject focus on question how can be these different approaches to create affordable Housing transferred into regional specifics.

The apartment building was remodeled in Bonn with an energetic and functional design. Aware, however, the value of integrating the building structure design elements such as the old wooden ladder. The project involves the renovation and expansion of the main house, the redesign of the courtyard and the outer layers and the conversion of the existing garage in the studio of an artist.

NAU + Drexler Guinand Jauslin Transform Swiss Bank

Interior of INSIDE-OUT, the design concept for the new Schaffhausen Raiffeisen Bank branch by NAU Architecture and Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten

The new Raiffeisen Bank branch designed by NAU Architecture and Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten was completed this past May in the historical city center of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, after the design won first place in a competition back in May 2012. The design as a whole appeals to the senses, going beyond the basic functions of a bank to creating an open, welcoming place for customers through light, color, and efficient use of space.

With the Minimum Impact House (MIH) new strategies for the development of urban residual areas were developed. The choice of locations Has a positive effect on the environmental performance of the building. In terms of sustainability offers a densification within the city territory require a lot of advantages: The urban sprawl is prevented. This creates congestion and strengthens the social fabric in the cities. Moreover, the reduction of land consumption is an active contribution to the protection of resources.

In modern residential consumption is minimized during operation largely. Therefore, with a lifetime of 50 years, the construction of the building for a large proportion of C02 emissions. MIH when the design was the use of renewable raw materials - optimized - especially wood. By a supporting structure made of timber panel construction and a fire protection system, the MIH was one of the first modern five-storey wooden building erected werden.Um to reduce energy consumption during use, the building was built as a passive house. As an important part of a ventilation system was installed as a compact unit (heat pump) with a degree of recovery heat recovery of 85%. The balance of energy is needed by a solar thermal system and a heat pump covered with 100% certified green.

Built in 1910 in Bonn, it was purchased in 2010 by Mr. and Mrs. Sibylle Feucht and Jürgen Starosta and reconstructed from scratch. Their goal was to create an environment for their own ideas, which combines in a suitable manner with residential and work here also integrates an exhibition space. At the same time it was necessary to equip the city with regard to house the most modern energy standards.

Particular emphasis was placed on the design of the façade and the integration into the surrounding public space. To the side of the road (north side) was designed for energy reasons, but also for privacy less generous and the south side (facing towards Venusberg), however, large-scale implementation.

Another focus of the renovation was to provide modern energy requirements sustainably justice to. For this, a number of measures were implemented, the overall lead to excellent energy values​​. These range from the use of geothermal energy in conjunction with a heat pump, a controlled ventilation system, the installation of a wall heater and installing triple glazed wooden windows through to the insulation of all exterior walls to passive house standard. A rainwater cistern provides a resource-saving toilet flushing, garden watering and washing machine use.

This paper introduces landscape aesthetics as an innovative design method for sustainable architecture. It is based on the framework of a recent paper where the young and unfamous authors criticized three of the most prominent architects today in regard to sustainable architecture and its aesthetics. Leading architects expressed their skepticism as to whether there is such a thing as aesthetics in sustainable architecture, or for that matter, if architecture can indeed be sustainable at all. Against such a setting, DGJ will illustrate what we believe to be the landscape perspective's inherent relationship to the natural environment, the principles behind it as well as the potentia Is that these landscape perspective holds for sustainable design. After first discussing the kind of professional and political impetuses that have made sustainability one of the most compelling changes to face the profession of architecture, we argue that the mandate for a sustainable environment did not come about by choice of the architects and planners, but rather, that sustainability is imposed on the profession by the necessary, external forces that influence it. To bridge the existing gaps between current practice and sustainability, we will trace some thoughts and principles of landscapes and territories. Our approach views the landscape as a human interface with nature, as a basis for the design of sustainable architecture and a new context for sustainable aesthetics. It will be illustrated with practical work samples from a small but globally operating practice DGJ Architects & Landscapes. They will demonstrate how sustainable design happens in practice, throughout its evolutionary process, with some of our recent projects

What is Delta Alliance?

Delta Alliance is an international knowledge-driven network organization with the mission of improving the resilience of the world’s deltas. With increasing pressure from population growth, industrialization and a changing climate, it is more important than ever that these valuable and vulnerable locations increase their resilience to changing conditions. Delta Alliance brings people together who live and work in deltas. They can benefit from each other’s experience and expertise and as such contribute to an increased resilience of their delta region.

Delta Alliance Young Professionals Award

In scope of the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012, Delta Alliance organized a Young Professionals Award, inviting young delta professionals around the world to present their solutions to the challenges which river deltas are facing.The Dutch ministry of Infrastructure and Environment hosted and supported this award, which was coordinated by Delta Alliance in cooperation with Both Ends, Alterra, University of Twente, Grontmij, Arcadis, Deltares and WWF.An impressive number of 53 teams of young professionals from 29 countries answered the call and handed in their propositions of how to solve acute delta challenges such as land subsidence, saltwater intrusion or coastal erosion, and many more. On the 21st of June 2012, the winners of the Delta Alliance Young Professionals Award were presented at the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development.

Contemporary architecture is increasingly influenced by the concept of landscape, and this is particularly the case in the Netherlands. Like at many other places, a new mindset is emerging, transforming the core values of the disciplines of architecture and urbanism with the notion of the organization of architectural space as a landscape. Through experiment our lab develops methods to analyze such phenomena in focused studies of specific cases, understanding how architects use landscape not only as a metaphor but also as a method to design buildings.

32 students selected and analyzed outstanding built work of awide field of architects from four generations of Dutch practitionersstarting with Huig Maaskant (founder of the RAvB), Wim Quist, OMA,SANAA, Mecanoo, MVRDV, NOX, De Zwarte Hond, NL-Architects,Onyx, FACT and MonderschijnMoonen. Students drew and built modelsof their analyses, where four layers are detachable as a separateentity, and then played a game the surrealist called Cadavre Exquis.

The result is a dismantled floating olympic village for Rotterdam,which is exhibited at it’s site in the historic docklands RDM on theHeijplaat. This Book is the catalogue to the exhibition.

Please keep in mind that the suggested donation price is 4 EUR. You can donate at the opening in cash. We will set up donation online after the opening of the exhibition. If you donate for the digital pre-release you will get the digital full-release for free probably this summer.

No, No and No. Three times No is the answer to the question: is there currently such a thing as aesthetics in sustainable architecture? This answer is drawn from the discussions of three architects who are acclaimed practitioners and thinkers in the field. If we assume that aesthetics is something that all architects pursue in one form or another, it would appear that, currently, sustainability is not an integral part of it.

This book deals with the aesthetic potentials of sustainable archit
ecture and its practice. In contrast to the mechanistic model, the book attempts to open a new area of scholarship and debate on sustainability in the design and production of architecture. In many instances, the key principles behind environmental concerns and sustainability in architecture are often misunderstood and misrepresented. Many often consider sustainability within a limited set of choices or still regard it as yet another inconvenience that hinders development. Certainly technical improvements help alleviate the problems at hand. But fundamental questions remain in regard to architecture: What are the structural issues behind the consciousness on sustainability and how do we address them in design? And what kind of opportunities can we find in its aesthetics for the revision of our industrial model? The book traces and underscores how the consideration of environment and sustainability is directly connected to aesthetic propositions in architecture. http://www.010.nl/catalogue

Social and ethical responsibility Building their own home is the dream of many people, especially families. Here a strategy i provided to create a new type of homes in the city and reinforcing the social, economic, and cultural fabric of the urban centres. In the fast-grown suburbs an unnatural homogenous population is created because on the very small group of people usually moves there within a short period of time. This segregation of a large proportion of the society weakens the social structure. In the city centre a social groups a mixed and interact. The individual experiences being part of a society every day. This understanding is the foundation for any social and democratic understanding. Ressource efficiency and environmental impact Residential houses are the main course for land-use. Building new suburbs leads to the destruction of natural environments, more streets, traffic, and pollution. One important aim was to demonstrate that in the smallest urban niche it is possible to built a fully-functioning house which meets the highest design standards and ecological criteria.

The project Minimum Impact House is a prototype for sustainable housing development in the city. Sustainability and ecology requires a holistic optimization of the building. At the mini house manufacturing of the building, operation and location factors such as urbanity and mobility were considered together. It turned out to be an inner-city densification has a number of environmental advantages. Prevent urban sprawl, traffic, reduces the intensified use of existing infrastructure and strengthen the social fabric of the city. For developing inner-city African developing new building types and building structures for the creation of sustainable housing in the city is required.

Enjoying the sun in the green spaces or taking a stroll along the Main – more and more people in Frankfurt spend their leisure time outside. And what does this mean? Frankfurt needs more public toilets. They are planned now.

A multidisciplinary jury, i.a. with representatives of the parks and gardens department and the Office for the Environment, has now made their decision. A special award goes to the design of Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects for their construction with willows.

New Cover for the smallest room in the Frankfurter new press online

As nice as it is to be outside, as desperate it can get. In the parks of Frankfurt there are less public toilets than needed. Often complained, the city council is working on the future concept „ Public toilets in the city of Frankfurt”. There you find the following plan: Instead of building expensive permanent toilets, which will be run down after a while, temporar
y toilets are planned to be provided during the summer. The architectural office Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects handed in a construction out of willows as an “overcoat” and won a special award.

The demand for passive houses has risen substantially in recent years. To meet the ever increasing cost of oil and electricity prices, many owners opt for an energy-efficient construction and save up to 90% on energy costs.

The new planning guide passive houses residential planning prepares you for this task well before, because selected project examples and detailed technical information to help you implement your own building project.

Take advantage of the design manual passive houses of residential buildings

Expertise for client consulting: The selected projects provide ideas for your own design. Concept variants and construction data to support the decisions. Safety in design: designs, details and concepts of the building can be incorporated into your own planning.

Ecological Awareness

Design for Disassembly: A Statement of decomposible for building structures

The construction of buildings uses most of the resources we consume. Demolition and construction activities also generates approximately 60% of all waste. The current development in the construction industry fear suggests that the amount of waste in the future increase even more, because on the one hand, the life expectancy of the building continuously decreases, the other more different materials are joined together and more thoroughly: Composite materials consist of a variety of starting materials, which are glued together with non-detachable connections to a huge pile of future hazardous waste. Due to this waste production the environment and society are challenged as well as by the production of new building materials, which leads to energy and raw material consumption.

Sustainable buildings must be constructed differently: The individual components must be assembled with detachable joints. Constructive layers must be designed so leave them to wait, individually and exchange, because the stress and life is different. In particular, technical building equipment must be replaced and upgraded, because on the one hand the technology improves rapidly, but also to changing conditions (availability of resources, climate change) needs to be adjusted.

Castle in the Air in Passivhouse-Standard

Affordable housing in the city while maintaining quality of life - a problem that employs the Frankfurt architect Hans Drexler for some years. His concern was not only a question of economic efficiency, but also about the environmental and social benefits of densification of urban areas. An idea that should be in the interests of urban planners. After all boasted Frankfurt as Germany's capital and passive house is striving towards the European title of a Green City. The award given by the city's architecture award "Green Building Award" to encourage private developers to sustainable designs. Hans Drexler received the award in 2009 for his mini-house. On a wedge-shaped area of 29 square meters, he set up at the Walter-Kolb-Strasse in Sachsenhausen, a multi-storey wooden building in passive house standard with a floor space of 145 square meters.

Green Buildings: Apply for Architectural award

For the second time the „Architekturpreis für nachhaltiges Bauen“ (architectural prize for sustainable building) will be awarded in November 2011. Within the last competition architects, planner and building owner of eight buildings were awarded with the Green Building Award. One of the awarded buildings was the Minimum Impact House.

The existing infrastructure, the social and cultural offerings and the short distances make it attractive to live in the middle of the city. The dream of owning a home, however, can often seem to realize just on the outskirts. Inner-city building sites are scarce on the market and offer often difficult conditions. But even in an area of ​​29 square meters can be a full house plan that shows the office Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects in Frankfurt am Main with his mini house.

Timber houses and KVH

The amount of frame houses measured to the total market of one- and two-family houses has been increasing constantly. About 13.000 residential buildings were built in timber-panel -construction and prefabricated timber-construction in Germany in 2009, with tendency to rise. Because of the commercial and technological advantage of the modern timber-construction, there can be expected, that the positive trend will continue during the following years.

Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. A new mindset evolves that changes the core of the architectural discipline: the organization and composition of architectural space as a landscape. The scope of this thesis is to investigate and understand architecture that has been designed like a landscape. In projects of OMA, MVRDV, Peter Eisenman, Foreign Office or Diller+Scofidio the building inside and landscape outside do not merely interact, but the building is designed as an artificial landscape on its own. Landscape constitutes the inside. The landscape to architecture relation is turned inside-out. The author is studying these phenomena and their design methodologies.As a first finalized and completely documented case study the analysis of the Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne by SANAA is surely an important part of our discovery of landscape methods for architectural design. Landscape is developing here as the aesthetic mediator between nature and human.

The Minimum Impact House in Frankfurt am Main is a sustainable solution for low cost living within city centers - a prototype typology with minimal footprint, built on a leftover urban space. The planning process itself became part of a scientific study.The ecological advantages of building in the city where integrated in a real building project with new typology, ecological construction-technique and materialization. The goal was to minimize environmental impact through construction and operation of the building. In a comparative study we compared advantages and disadvantages of a single-family house in the centre versus new building zones. This included qualitative an quantitative comparison over a life cycle of 50 years with construction, running, maintenance, disassembly and location related mobility.

The courtesy of height

Everybody is talking about sustainable building, but what does this really mean? First of all: It is more than just a bit of insulation. It is a gentle way of handling resources regarding the whole life cycle of a building. This is what the project was about, the young architectural office Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects in Frankfurt and the TU Darmstadt worked.The aim was to develop a prototype for sustainable building in cities.

The "Minimum Impact House" is a prototype for sustainable and energy efficient housing in the city. The building is the product of a research project of the architectural firm Drexler Guinand Jauslin and the Department of Design and Energy Efficiency of the Department of Architecture of the TU Darmstadt by Manfred Hegger. "The gentle use of resources is a key aspect of sustainability. This is true in the use of urban remnant areas as well as in the choice of material and energy efficiency for he building." says owner and architect Hans Drexler. The benefits of existing urban infrastructure through a densification not only reduces urban sprawl of the surrounding area, it also reduces the volume of traffic and stabilizes the economic and social structure of the city.

Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. The landscape analogy that accompanied architecture for a long time in tectonics or ornament is now transforming the concepts of form and space. The landscape analogy has moved from marginal subjects to the core of the discipline. We are looking for principals of architectural theory, which can not be derived anymore from an big predominant ideology. What framework for architecture do we still need in the more or less lucky freedom of our time? We might want to use the proposed exercise of knowledge transfer to rediscover some basic principles. A study of landscape as a means of architecture could lead to such a basic theory, not derived from any ideology nor adopting philosophical terms to a practical field. We prefer looking in our own backyard, enjoying the freedom of thoughts about our own subject matter.

Vast achievements in the field of sustainable building habe been made: A variety of targets, aspects and criteria habe been identified that constitute important building blocks of a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in the field of architecture. Assessments and evaluation systems have been developed that help to analyse designs and buildings. Still missing are strategies that could be used to integrate the targets in the design process. In a two year empirical research project concepts, strategies and methods for designing sustainable residential buildings habbe been gathered and analysed. Sustainable design is notmerely a technical problem, rather it can be most successful if it accomplishes to bridge the gap between the cultural role of architecture and its technical side. For this reason, the study focused on the design potential that could be derived from the following questions: . What are approaches and strategies to meet the diverse and sometimes divergent requirements of sustainability in architecture? . Waht methods and tools can be applied in the early stages of the design and planning process for new and existing buildings to be planned holistically in order to optimize the design in terms of sustainable construction? . What is the role the context(in the broadest possible sense of climatic, Structural, cultural and social context) plays in respect to the design? . What are the advantages and disadvantages arising from their implementation?
